Winter fashion: How to look super stylish in sweaters

It’s easy to pick out the classic winter fashion pieces that will easily translate into your cold-weather wardrobe. But it starts to get interesting when designers take a staple item like a winter-ready cashmere sweater and make us want to incorporate it back into our everyday looks in new and playful ways.

We chose the five best winter sweater styles from the Fall 2013 runways, and put together outfit inspirations to cozy up to for every occasion.

Winter sweater: Graphic print On the runway: Givenchy, Christopher Kane, Sonia Rykiel, MoschinoPerfect for: A playful weekend sweaterHow to wear it: A whimsical cartoon, geometric or Bill Cosby-inspired print works wonderfully as a fun, casual look when paired with jeans and flat ankle boots. For a night version of your winter fashion, pair a crisp white blouse underneath and a chunky necklace. Upgrade to any boot with a heel.

Winter sweater: The cable knit On the runway: Tommy Hilfiger, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Paul & Joe, Max MaraPerfect for: A sophisticated office lookHow to wear it: While the fitted structure of the cable knit makes the sweater naturally classic, layering is key to taking it into a more playful realm. Add a denim blouse for gentle wash of colour under a creamy white boat neck sweater; pair over slim trousers or with a pencil skirt and leggings for the ultimate polished ensemble. Winter sweater: The oversized sweater On the runway: Stella McCartney, Emporio Armani, Proenza Schouler Perfect for: A night out How to wear it: Play around with form by mixing a boxy, crinoline sweater with an airy, loose-fitting bottom—like a pajama pant or billowy knee-length skirt (and pointy toe heels!). Or try it textured (read: fluffy) in a mint green orbubblegum pink tone over a pencil skirt—as styled on Emporio Armani’s Fall 203 runway—for an elegant evening event.

Winter sweater: The sweater cape On the runway: Valentino, Just Cavalli, ChloéPerfect for: A chilly fall day How to wear it: As the cape mostly acts as cozy and chic outwear this season, go for a lively and statement print—that way you can instantly upgrade your basic jeans and T-shirt ensemble when heading outdoors. For a more pared-down yet high-glamour appeal, we love Valentino’s oversized cape in ivory or a floral blue print. A lesson in how to always be sophisticated. Always.

Winter sweater: The cashmere sweater On the runway: Carven, Bottega Veneta, Nina Ricci, Chanel (Spring 2014)Perfect for: An elegant soireeHow to wear it: For a classic film noir-inspired outfit, try a turtleneck cashmere sweater in a luscious deep mustard shade, paired with a gold pleated skirt. Or take a page right out of the Lagerfeld playbook at Chanel’s Spring 2014 runway—why have one cashmere sweater when you can layer three of varying colours? Tie a cashmere sweater around your neck, draping over the cropped cashmere sweater you’re currently wearing. Then wrap a third around your waist. Voila! Luxury!

NSFW: The new 50 Shades: Darker trailer is here

There are two types of people in the world: Those who can watch this 50 Shades Darker trailer with a straight face, and those who can't.

With no judgement either way, here's the brand new teaser for Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson's second round as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, featuring masquerade costumes, helicopters, and approximately one shirtless Jamie Dornan per second. As you might expect from an R-rated film things get NSFW pretty quickly, FYI.

Everything you need to know about the changes to the Instagram comments section

We all know how fun Instagram can be. The comments section though...not so fun. The social media platform (finally!) is working to change all that. Here are the three biggest updates it's rolling out.

1) You can turn comments on and off for individual posts–even after you've posted. One of your posts not getting the love you thought it would? Shut those comments off. Change your mind a few days later? Switch them back on. A few accounts already have this feature, but soon it will be rolling out to everyone.

2) In the past, those with private accounts could only delete followers they'd already approved by blocking them. Now, you can simple remove them as a follower and no, they won't get notified that you did. Think of it as the unfriending of Insta.

3) And now for our favourite update: You can finally like other people's comments! Just tap the little heart icon to show the commenter some love. According to the blog post announcing the new features, being able to like comments "lets you show support and encourages positivity throughout the community."
